V-Collection 11 introduces new instruments: the Jup-8000 V, a recreation of the Roland JP-8000; Pure LoFi, a hybrid sampler/synth focused on vintage sounds; Synthx V, based on the Elka Synthex; and MiniBrute V, a software version of Arturia's own MiniBrute hardware synth. The update also includes rebuilt versions of the SEM V and overhauled Augmented Series instruments with Yangtze and Mallets now also included in the bundle.
V Collection 11 comprises 45 software instruments in total, blending emulations, modern hybrid synth engines, modeled keyboards, and sampled acoustic sounds.
